Hiperplasia Mamária em Gata Associada ao Uso de Anticoncepcional-Relato de Caso.

A five-year-old female cat (Felis catus), of no specific breed, nulliparous, was referred to the JuliPet veterinary clinic in the municipality of Fortaleza-CE. The cat presented with an enlargement of the mammary chain, exhibiting ulcerated lesions with purulent exudation distributed bilaterally, with a history of contraceptive use. Histopathological analysis diagnosed the patient with feline mammary hyperplasia (FMH), a condition characterized by a rapid enlargement of one or more mammary glands and commonly associated with the use of exogenous progestogens. Consequently, performing ovariohysterectomy in young females prevents the occurrence of reproductive and mammary pathologies. The present study aims to describe the anesthetic protocol used for the surgical removal of the right and left mammary chains, along with the ulcerated tumor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
